I have been feeling a lot better recently but I really need help with improving my social skills as I really don't get any daily practice of speaking to people face to face, my family never have any proper conversations with me and they usually just do their own thing independently, then I also have the aspergers also which makes it harder but I've also made progress in fixing the autistic symptoms as well...
So I was thinking group therapy would be good as I get to practice speaking in front of other people but I wasn't sure what type would be good for me. Does anyone know any good places or types of group therapy in london uk?
I'm not looking for this therapy to cure my health condition, its more to improve my social skills, confidence and manage dealing with my health conditions better.
I don't want to get referred by the NHS as I don't want my GP to think all my health stuff is just psychological (probably already thinks that but I would rather keep this private off my health record) I also did CBT once on the NHS which wasn't helpful at all. I have seen a private integrative therapist before which I did find helpful for managing my personal life issues and didn't help my health issues but I wasn't expecting him to do that.
Thanks
